## Abstract We have synthesised three materials–chondroitin sulphate (ChS, a commercial product derived from shark cartilage and predominantly chondroitin‐6‐sulphate (Ch‐6‐S)) bound to pre‐formed hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca~10~(PO~4~)~6~(OH)~2~), HA formed in the presence of ChS and poly‐Asp bound to pr
